RE: Fwd: Fw: seeking help for stray dogs

[Guest guest]

While I hope that Sunita will find help, I also think of Udayangani, who has

also 100 dogs in her care (and 30 cats), fortunately in her own property in

Colombo. though it's tiny (10 perch). Looking after strays is often regarded

as " hoarding " and therefore help is not coming forth. I see it that way:

there are people, who have the ability to run a decent TNR program like TAPA

here in Sri Lanka and they get usually good support because they do things

very systematically and efficiently and with great care. The focus here is

on the whole: stabilising the dog-population. The focus of Sunita and

Udayangani is the individual animal, they look into the eyes of a puppy,

which is starving in a drain and knowing it will die within few days if they

leave it there, they take it home. They cannot do what TAPA does, but they

have their own " duty " in life and I always try to help such souls. You can

find out more about Udayangani on www.sofakandy.org

My own approach is somewhere in-between: most of the puppies I bring home, I

re-home, most of the adult dogs, I get them spayed and return them to the

place where I picked them up, most of the handicapped dogs however remain

with me and of course the puppies, which could not be re-homed. Some time

ago I picked up a dog after an accident with a very big wound, which took

three months to heal, when I tried to return her after she was ok and

spayed, she jumped back into the rikshaw. If I had pushed her out and asked

the driver to take off, she would have definitely followed us and may would

have got knocked down again because it was right on the main-road from Kandy

to Colombo. So she is going to be with me now for good. But another dog,

which I returned recently after three days, even though also to a busy

main-road, she wagged the tail when she got out of the rickshaw and was

jumping from gate to gate greeting all her friends and feeders. She may not

live long, I have seen many dogs knocked down on that road too, but she was

happy to be back and so there was no question.

 

Every month around 20 adults and puppies are passing through here and move

on (or back), every time I say good bye there is a bit of sadness: I leave

them to their own fate, I pray they will be fine, but I cannot watch over

them any more. I take it a as a learning-process. learning to let go.

Fwd: Fw: seeking help for stray dogs

 

 

 

 

 

Dear Friends!

 

Recently i met a girl, sunita Christy, who has dedicated her life for the

abandoned, diseased, disabled stray dogs. She has more than 100 such

diseased dogs under her care. The devotion she shows on the animals can not

be explained by mere words. Such a kind hearted girl does not have any

financial support for nourishing the animals. It is really heart breaking to

see the sufferings of those animals and also to see the efforts of Sunita to

comfort them.

At present she needs a shelter for those dogs as the owner of the house is

not willing to rent it any more. I just send the photos of Sunita and her

pets so that the suffering animals may get help somehow.

 

My opinion is ; no one of us can be so dedicated to those poor beings as

sunita But we can try to help them by encouraging her. Kindly give hands to

help other living beings.

 

Her address: is
